While competitive versions rely on plastic, the Morse Controls high-end pleasure boat mechanical steering control utilises ZA-8 alloy die casting for the Command 290 base plate and shaft support. ZA-8 alloy was chosen for two reasons: superior mechanical properties...
das Gussteil ist Teil einer Baugruppe für einen mechanischen Türöffner, der mit dem Fuß bedient wird. Berührungslose Türöffnung ist beispielsweise in Krankenhäusern oder öffentlichen Sanitäranlagen unter hygienischen Aspekten ein Gewinn. Der Einbau erfolgt in...
The control boxes for Minn Kota electric motors went through several design phases before settling on zinc die casting as the material/process of choice. The boxes were originally sand cast aluminium and later die-cast aluminium. Short tool life prompted engineers to...
Alloy 3 was chosen as the end cap material because of the ease with which it is processed. Both material and tooling cost are minimised and the product can be made with existing expertise and plant equipment. Alloy 3 castings can be produced with high dimensional...
Key benefits: Excellent example to substitute Brass No secondary operation : screw thread directly as cast Redesigned concept : switching fom machined part to casting technology Split core technology
The 9,5 kg zamak housing of this designer coffee machine is made from 8 zinc pressure die cast parts with weights between 2,2 kg and 75 gr. The parts are powder coated. To avoid any bubbles during thermal curing of the paint, the parts are vacuum cast to avoid gas...
Initially, the hub–two intersecting cylinders–was a brazed assembly. Cylinders were screw machined from solid brass. Operations included turning, drilling, internal milling, cut-off and rolling of one cylinder end to accept a plastic transition piece. The...
A newly designed air preparation system utilizes zinc die casting for the major components of the Quickclamp(TM) assembly (as well as the bodies, bowls and accessory parts of he filters, regulators and lubricators). Die cast zinc provided greater strength than molded...
The initial design brief for the slave lock was that it had to have suitable mechanical properties to meet security door standards, have minimum design complexity and use the most logical material for the purpose. Initially a hybrid construction was considered, using...
The KitchenAid mixer utilises zinc die castings for all of its structural components–the 4-1/2-quart pedestal model incorporates seven zinc castings and the 5-quart bowl support model incorporates eight zinc castings. Zinc castings provide a number of design...
A dollar bill changer incorporated top and bottom sensor plates fabricated from welded stamped components. The weldments could not hold tolerances greater than +/- 0.020 in. In an effort to resolve dimensional instability and fit problems, the manufacturer, working...
The 2 parts are used as casing including and protecting the electric system of traffic lights. The material properties provides protection against vandalism and have much longer lifetime than polymer materials and due to thinner sections, lighter than the previous...
